Mum To Son

Please do not lose yourself along lifes path Never forget who ‘you’ are Retain your kind and compassionate nature Remember your roots…don’t stray afar Never expect….. forever remain humble Work hard…stay an honest man Continue to treat all others as equals Enjoy your life, love and laugh….simply be the best ‘you’ can!

Dear Deb, This is the answer to: What wisdom should a child who is ready to step into adulthood be given? That is so well said in understandable language. I have always wanted my daughters to learn the same lessons, and I believe they have. GREAT WISDOM! Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

It's the lessons we teach our children when they're old enough to understand. Not bad advice to follow at any age, Deb.
